Thanks for posting this Kramer. It was a very thoughtful and level headed response.

Although I dont play at the higher limits that you do, I can relate to the topic of emotional gambling. It's not a coincidence that I reload after a big fight with my girlfriend. I play for many reasons, but in these instances I do it as a way to escape stress and grief. I play well in the begining and then burn through it on tilt. Not a huge deal, $50 every once in a while...but certainly the biggest flaw in my game.

Im currently looking for healthier ways to handle those emotions.
